Haven't tried tails. But the mains have a nice bark when high collective changed etc. like hard stops on fast rainbows. I like them

conclusion: If Switchblades are the old EDGE, zeal can't be the same.

simple as that.

Zeal aren't made from the Edge molds. This is true. But the logic you used to get there isn't quite right.


Lots and lots of "rebrands" in this hobby.

The bottom line is, the sizes are all different. Profiles are a bit different as well. All the Edge blades were XX3 mm, all the Switch Blades are XX3 mm. None of the Zeal blades are.

chill out mate like I said was just sharing and the point of it was to outline the fact that Zeal is not the new Edge because Switch is, not that I misunderstood the title maybe you just didn't get it

Zeal is not edge. They aren't shaped the same, they aren't the same size, and they don't fly the same. Their construction and CG give significantly different flight characteristics.

so is it just clever marketing or did somebody buy the rights??

Just curious if anyone has info one way or the other.

The new egde blades are now switch blades. I was told Bert Kammerer bought the moulds and named them switch - switched names i guess. Even the pattern in the cf is opposite
